We have to keep in mind though that certain poor people take this approach in the belief that it helps to beg for money. It is well known among aid-givers that this specific individual seems not interested in treatment.

Thanks, Sameer. I did come across Panos in my research. Will take a closer look soon.

Great post, Georgia, definitely a topic that needs more discussion and debate in Jamaica (as in so many places). You might want to take a look at my colleagues at Panos Caribbean, who, among other things, focus on supporting journalists to report on HIV and AIDS:
